The BEETLE card (optional)
The BEETLE card, a memory card the size of a credit card, provides the
BEETLE POS system with a standardized storage medium. The card has
a number of advantages over other storage media, such as floppy disks.
These include:
■ High storage capacity
■ Compactness and thus low space requirements
■ Mechanical robustness/no wear on rotating mechanical parts
■ High data security (not magnetically sensitive)
■ Relatively insensitive to moisture and heat
■ Rapid data access (no mechanically moving parts)
BEETLE cards have a large number of applications. For example, they
can be used to:
■ Load programs
■ Save data (e.g. daily sales figures)
■ Implement access control (“electronic key”)
There is an internationally valid standard for BEETLE cards
(PCMCIA/JEIDA). This means you can use the same type of card from
different manufacturers.
The BEETLE /20 lets you use cards with a storage capacity of up to
64 MB.
